Derek Hough is relieved that his wife Hayley Erbert’s health is finally turning a corner after a terrifying medical emergency.
On December 7th, the longtime Dancing with the Stars judge shared that Hayley, following a performance in Washington D.C. as part of their A Symphony of Dance tour, had been rushed to the hospital and diagnosed with a cranial hematoma from a burst blood vessel. She then underwent an emergency craniectomy as a result.
Almost two weeks later on Wednesday, he shared that she was undergoing a second surgery to replace a part of her skull, which has fortunately gone as planned.
